I'm Knackered...

[badly_knitted]

So, I finally managed to go out (first time in about 9 weeks), sort out financial stuff and do some shopping. I think I was out a little under 4 hours. Road works for The Tram That No One Wants have screwed everything up, getting in and out of the carpark near the post office is a nightmare, so it was not fun. Add to that my right hip and knee do

sorry to know your outing was a nuisance!
Hey you've got a nice and original idea wit the pompons for the Xmas tree!
now rest and let the missing shopping for another day.

[badly_knitted]

Someone else can get the missing shopping, it'll take me at least a week to recover from today. I swear if I wasn't wearing socks my feet would fall off. I'm even using mum's stair lift to get up the stairs because my legs have gone on strike. I don't blame them at all. It's been a looooooooooooong day *sigh*

*hugs* I will probably survive. I've washed the dishes, cleaned out the fire and I can sit down again for a bit, which is nice.

Dang! That's a lot to do on a single day out. At least it's over now and you can recover. *hugs* Then maybe the next time you have to go out for what you forgot won't be so traumatic. And, if you weren't in another country I would offer a massage.

I think I need a full service, with oil! My joints are creaking something rotten!

Not planning on going out again before Christmas if I can help it, I find it too exhausting, especially with having to clean out the fire twice a day. It's not so bad in summer, but my joints are better then anyway. Someone else can go. My sister is coming at the weekend to take mum to collect her new glasses, so maybe they can pick up a few things while they're at the shops. Mum gets wheeled in a wheelchair, so it won't be a strain and at least then she could choose instead of having to accept what someone else gets.

Probably take me about a week to recover from today. Everything hurts =(

Can I have a body transplant?

[milady_dragon]

Well, you can try a body transplant, but I don't recommend it. Breaking in a new body is sometimes worse than dealing with the old one. What if it's allergic to something you adore? What if it has a squeaky voice and passes gas at inopportune moments? Certainly you don't want to have to deal with those sorts of things!

Makes nice cuppa(tea or hot toddy ;-) )brings out the warm slippers and comfy chair by the fire.

Online shopping with delivery maybe?

[badly_knitted]

Oh, I wish. But the last time I shopped online for delivery I bought enough yogurts for a couple of weeks only to find that the expiry date on the whole lot was in 5 days. 16 yogurts in 5 days is a bit much, lol!

Maybe I can buy the Christmas presents online though.

*Sips virtual tea* Thank you.

Sounds like a long, tiring and frustrating day. Hopefully the night will be restful and tomorrow a bit better.

That's awesome on the pom-poms. :) Many a project in there it sounds like.

[badly_knitted]

My face was a picure! I told mum "I thought it was only going to be a small bag!"

Yesterday was completely exhausting and it'll take me at least three days to recover - which is one of ther resons I don't go out much. My stomach is bad today because of yesterday. I won't be able to eat much today, or tomorrow either.

Last night wasn't all that restful either and I got up this morning stiff as a board. Then I had to change the sheets on mum's bed, with the assistance of the carer and I spent all morning finishing the Christmas cards for overseas. If you'd like one, PM me!

The carpark I use is so disorganised, the usual exit is closed off. I had no idea how to get out, so I followed a police car - figured they must know the way, LOL!

[lexxiescott]

I can imagine, yeah. :) Still, it's good to have a stock in for crafts, kind of like me and notebooks. Never know when you'll need some.

I know how you feel. It's almost noon here and I just woke up and feel like I could sleep another three hours. Think I might be trying to flare. Hope you have something around you were able to eat.

Thank heavens for the carers. I'm glad you didn't have to do the sheets all on your own. A card would be lovely, I'll do that.

*grins* They probably do, unless they're doing something our police do, and that's make their own exit rather than follow the law for the carpark. *snickers*

[badly_knitted]

They seemed to go the right way, so it was okay, lol! The car park is beside the council offices and the police have just moved in there from the old police station (which is no doubt being demolished to make way for the bloody tram, grrrr!)

I've nibbled a bit, still not feeling great though.

I'm a demon for stocking up with craft stuff. I can't resist bargains if they're something I can use! Trouble is, with everything I've bought, I'm sure my hand made Christmas cards are the most expensive ever, lol!

YAY for eBay!

Christmas shopping is a NIGHTMARE. That's why I've done a) all my shopping before Dec 1, and b) MOST OF IT online via eBay, Amazon and other assorted online stores. Two words: BLACK FRIDAY. Sale sale sale sale sale. I love Black Friday shopping on Amazon. The BARGAINS you can get are ASTRONOMICAL. It's BRILLIANT! And the shipping is surprisingly fast too. I've already got 1 package that I ordered and I'm waiting on 2 more. *throws tinsel in the air*

YAY FOR YOU!

We just wanted biscuits and chocolates, stuff like that for the neighbours. It's the most convenient thing to get and they're always appreciated. Family gets given money as they prefer that. The only person I buy an actual present for is mum, and I got that back in sepetember, which was the last time I went out. There was a small craft fair in the square and I spotted something I knew whe'd love.

Most of the shopping yesterday was for food essentials, cleaning products etc. The boring stuff.
